During her pregnancy with her son Felix, Kathleen Tyson tested HIV-antibody positive. After extensive research, she decided not to treat herself or Felix with AZT. She also determined that the benefits of breast feeding Felix outweigh any perceived risk of infecting him with a "deadly" virus. When the authorities were notified, they took custody of Felix on the basis that Kathleen Tyson had "intent to harm" her son Felix. The Tysons recently went to court to regain custody of their child. The State maintained that Kathleen does not have the right to make an informed choice for the health of her son regarding HIV. Unfortunately, an appeal would be to lengthy to pursue.
